Energy efficiency plans needed for data centres in Europe

According to a report prepared by Green Grid -an organisation aiming to improve resource efficiency of data centres- out of 150 asked Information Technology (IT) organisations only 43% have plans to improve their energy efficiency despite the pressure they are facing. However, almost all organisations (97 per cent) felt they could improve their energy plan and have energy efficiency in their highest advancement priorities.

The report also stresses the effort needed to improve energy efficiency in data centres, if the European Commission’s goal to have data centres use at least 80 per cent of renewable energy is to be achieved by 2020.
